ABSTRACT An efficient and clean protocol was developed for the convenient synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c] pyrazoles via a one-pot four-component reaction of commercially available aldehydes, malononitrile, ethyl acetoacetate (or ethyl benzoylacetate), and hydrazine hydrate (or phenylhydrazine). The reactions were conducted in aqueous EtOH in the presence of sodium citrate as a catalyst. A series of pyrano[2,3-c] pyrazole derivatives were quickly obtained in excellent yields using this eco-friendly four-component onepot reaction.

KEY WORDS Multicomponent reaction, One-pot reaction, Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole, Sodium citrate, Eco-friendly catalyst.

INTRODUCTION Substituted pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles are important building blocks with rich bioactivity profile that includes anticancer,[1] anti-inflammatory,[2] antimicrobial,[3] analgesic properties,[4] Chk1 kinase inhibitory activity,[5] and also as biodegradable agrochemicals.[6] Potential biological activities and extensive synthetic utilities of pyranopyrazoles have led to their identification as a class of heterocyclic compounds, which has created considerable interest in the pharmaceutical industry and the diversified field of organic synthesis.[7] Furthermore, they play a significant role as important synthetic intermediates.[8] As a result, several strategies have been developed for the synthesis of pyranopyrazoles from the earlier reported multistep protocols[9,10] to multicomponent reactions.[11,12] A three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and substituted pyrazolin-5-ones in ethanol medium was reported using triethylamine as a catalyst.[13] Recently, a four-component reaction of ethyl

acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aldehydes, and malononitrile in the presence of (S)-proline under ultrasonic irradiation for the synthesis of functionalized 4H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles has been developed.[14] Some other base catalysts have been used for this condensation.[15] In addition, some environmentally friendly fourcomponent methods also have been developed by using catalysts such as L-proline,[16] γ-alumina,[17] amberlyst A21,[18] triethylamine,[19] and hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.[20] Recently, some other catalysts such as per-6-aminoβ-cyclodextrin,[21] basic ionic liquids,[22] or piperidine[23] were also used to achieve this transformation. Muramulla and Zhao[24] reported the first organocatalytic methods for asymmetric synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c] pyrazoles. An efficient four-component reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, hydrazine hydrate, malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of 2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-3-carboxylates in water has been also reported by Zonouz et al.[25]

Natural products have been used as catalysts in various organic transformations because of their easy handling and the absence of toxicity.[26] As part of our research program to develop selective, efficient green methods, and catalysts in organic synthesis,[27] we have been studied the catalytic effect of sodium citrate, an inexpensive, commercially available and environmentally friendly compound, for the synthesis of pyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles, in a single step via four-component condensation involving aromatic aldehydes 1, malononitrile 2, ethyl acetoacetate 3a (or ethyl benzoylacetate 3b), and hydrazine hydrate 4a (or phenylhydrazine 4b) (Scheme 1).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The optimization of the operating conditions was performed using the model reaction involving benzaldehyde 1a (2 mmol), malononitrile 2 (2 mmol), ethyl acetoacetate 3a (2 mmol), hydrazine hydrate 4a (2 mmol), and sodium citrate (10 mol %) in solvent (5 ml) at different conditions (Scheme 1). We began by studying the effect of the temperature. Some reactions were performed at different temperatures (Table 1, entries 1-3). The best results were obtained in refluxing water. We then looked at the effect of the solvent on this four-component condensation. The execution of the model reaction under solvent-free conditions at 80°C, under refluxing ethanol, acetonitrile, dichloromethane or in 50% aqueous ethanol (Table 1, entries 4-8). A higher yield of 76% was obtained when aqueous ethanol was used (Table 1, entry 6). The reaction carried out without catalyst gave a yield of only 26% (Table 1, entry 14). To complete the optimization, the last tests were focused on the effect of the catalyst’s amount on the product yield, by varying the amount of sodium citrate from 5 to 50 mol% under the above conditions (Table 1, entries 9-13). The results showed that 5 mol% of the catalyst was sufficient to obtain product 5a an excellent yield of 80% (Table 1, entry 9). Once the optimal conditions were determined, we explored the scope and limitations of the one-pot reaction involving different aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehydes 1 bearing different substituents, malononitrile 2, β-ketoesters  3, and hydrazines 4. The results of the investigation involving the previous optimized conditions are presented in Table 2. In all cases, excellent yields with good selectivity were obtained. A possible reaction mechanism of this four-component reaction is illustrated in Scheme 2. Based on the chemistry of pyranopyrazoles, it is reasonable to assume that the resulting product is obtained from the condensation

between two key intermediates 1 and 2. The first pyrazolone intermediate 1 results from an initial condensation between ethyl acetoacetate and hydrazine hydrate, while the second is formed via a Knoevenagel reaction between aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile leading to an arylidene 2. The formation of these two intermediates is made easy with the assistance of the catalyst. The Michael adduct 3 is obtained from condensation between intermediates 1 and 2. Finally, intramolecular cyclization of adduct 3 leads after tautomerization, to the final target product 5.

EXPERIMENTAL Specified solvents and reagents were of reagent grade and used without further purification. 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded as solutions on a BRUKER AVANCE DPX spectrometer at 250.13 and 62.5 MHz, respectively, using TMS as internal standard and DMSO-d6 as a solvent. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm), and coupling constants (J) are reported in Hertz (Hz). Infrared (IR) spectra were obtained on potassium bromide (KBr) pellets with a Shimadzu Fouriertransform IR (FT-IR)-8201 PC spectrometer. Melting points were determined in a capillary tube and are uncorrected.

General procedure for the synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles: 5a-m In a 50 ml flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was charged with an equimolar amount of the following reagents: Aldehyde 1, malononitrile 2, ethyl acetoacetate 3 (or ethyl benzoylacetate), hydrazine hydrate 4 (or phenylhydrazine), and 5 mol % of sodium citrate (catalyst) in aqueous ethanol (1:1) (5 ml). The mixture was heated with continued stirring at reflux until the reaction was complete (followed by thin layer chromatography, eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane: 1/2). After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice water and is stirred for 10-15 min; the obtained solid is then filtered and washed with cold water. Purification of the obtained products was carried out by crystallization from ethanol.
